The document summarizes and analyzes the cover of a magazine featuring Beyoncé. It notes that Beyoncé's image appeals to both male and female viewers by being sexy yet seductive. Several design elements of the cover are discussed, including the bold color scheme, grid-based layout, and eye-catching central image of Beyoncé holding an ice cream to represent summer. The target audience is identified as ages 15 and up due to potentially unsuitable images for younger viewers.

1. The model on the front of this
cover is Beyoncé, she is
appealing to look at from both
CV
gender’s, especially the male
eye as she can been seen as
sexy and seductive, and lads
may see her as the definition
of ‘perfect’ therefore it appeals
to both sex’s.
This is bold and appealing to the
audience’s.
She is
positioned in a
way that’s eye
catching to
the viewers
and buyers.
There is no barcode on this magazine front
cover, this is not avoiding it it’s simply the way
the magazine is, It’s possibly been printed on
the back of the magazine instead.
The target market
for this magazine I
would say is 15
and up-wards as it
may contain
unsuitable images
for the younger
generation.
I really like the
central image
and colour
scheme I feel
that it has been
thought out
very well, it’s
an eye catching
piece of art
work.
The cover caption ‘pop vs. life’ is
showing the music genre vs. everyday
life around us, from looking at the
picture she is representing summer as
she is holding an ice cream in her hand
and she is very colourful in what she is
wearing although they are quite brief
summer clothes.
They have used a bold
text that however the
focus is not taken from
the masthead.
Part of the masthead is covered by the main image
although this doesn’t matter as the magazine is very well
known so it doesn’t matter as it will still be noticed by
the audience readers.
This cover from Dazed and confused is quite
colourful and bold. The main colours on the cover
are yellow, purple, blue and white.
From looking at the front cover
I can see that a grid has been
used as everything is placed on
lines and equally spaced.
It has a high eye catching status to the
readers and potential readers alike.
